Maintaining and cutting out sugar
I have a MAJOR sugar addiction. In recent weeks I've gotten much better about slowly cutting out sugar and using natural replacements (ie when I craving hits I jump to an orange as opposed to ice cream). I've noticed that with less sugar I eat the more salty things I'm craving. I used to never crave salt, this new craving…

I have been trying to eat at maintenance & not succeeding for the past 3 weeks. Using a TDEE I set my goal and began, at 17,100 a week (was 15,600 prior for 0.5 - 1ibs lost per week).

Weight Maintenance Calories
I've never really dieted, but have thought I should lose some weight for quite a while. The My Fitness Pal has really given me a great tool and it's really worked. I've dropped 20 pounds (210 to 190) over the past four months and now I want to hit weight maintenance. But the app says instead of the 1990 calories per day…

MFP Tool or Crutch? Weigh-in
Have you ever noticed how challenging it can be to trust your own instincts when you reach your goal weight? I tried weaning myself off counting calories and weighing in everyday.

Motivation in Maintenance
I have been in maintenance since January and it has been a rocky road. Getting better, thanks to the wise guidance of a new MFP friend. One thing I notice is that finding motivators is elusive. I can no longer use the number on the scale going down, which was very reinforcing ( staying at the same number, not nearly so…

Food vacations
Its so tempting to tell myself that I’m going to “take the weekend off” and just eat anything I want to. In the past that mindset always set me off course and it took 20 - 30 pounds gained before I could call a halt. I’m almost to my goal and its so tempting to tell myself that I could lose it back if I just quit trying…

Almost one year apart. Same weight, small changes but I’m sooo happy!

Maintenance is hard, you guys
I know I’m the millionth person to make this statement, but it’s true. I’ve been in maintenance for going on 3 months and I’m still not comfortable with it. From what I’ve read and what my Ideal Protein Coach has told me, it takes a year to get it down pat. My weight is definitely creeping up. I can no longer deny it,…
